UPDATE: I put the emacs aside, and opened up the 9650. To my surprise, there are 3 hard drives in this thing: a full height (!) drive hooked to the inbuilt SCSI, and 2 identical seagate barracudas, one in a bracket right above the power supply, and one on a black plastic plate on the bottom. I will put both of these next to each other, because there is a HP 2gb I was given last time with the same 68 pin connector, and it will go above the PS.

I also opened it all the way up, and I was shocked to see not only a newer maxpower 300 card (is this a G3 upgrade?), and the RAM banks are FULL!! there are 2 different kinds of sticks, and I plan on matching them up, since there are 2 of the second group in the main bank, and 2 in the lower bank. There is no ROM simm surprisingly, but I might have one of these from last time somewhere. I assume it will not boot without this.

expansion cards include a ethernet card (my guess is an apple brand 10/100, since I have 2 more from him), the video card, and the SCSI card which provides the 68 pin connector, and oddly looks to have an external port, but it has a big white block on it with a (\) symbol on it.

I will power this one up later on tonight after class.
